[bbeavereater]

I was wondering if anybody knew of any gold being found in the hooiser national forest area.  Years ago i heard my history teacher mention that there has been some found in certain area.  How about the rest of southern indiana.  Anybody familure with this area.

  I am from Green County Indiana and most of my family still lives there. Anyway on your question, I have never heard of any being found in the park itself but that does not mean it has not or is not still there. I do know that Brown county has some gold and even a couple of mines I do believe. I know some has even been found in Green county also long time ago.
If you do say a goggle search of "Finding Gold in Indiana" you will find a few different things on it. Just took a fast look myself and it came up with a lot of things. Here is one that might help you out some, http://www.treasurefish.com/indiana%20metal%20detecting.htm

Hope this helps you out some.

Micahn,
I grew up around Owensburg and poked around a lot of the Green County hollers when I was a youngun.  Went to the old Owensburg school before it burned down.  Married a gal from Eastern hs and worked at Crane for 27 years.  Probly know some of your kin folk.
